Pineapple-Cheese sandwich filling

If you love this combination on top of you pizza or even burger, chances are, you'll definitely dig in this very simple sandwich filling.



Its a combination of flavor and texture that creates this yummy filling - the creaminess of the cheese and the sweetness of the pineapple.

To make this filling, all you need is a can of crushed pineapple and shredded cheese. For the latter, I always go for Kraft Eden cheese and for the pineapple either Del Monte or Dole.



You need to "sort of" freeze the cheese first to make it easier to shred - soft cheese tends to deform thus you'll find it in convenient to shred.
Just mix the crushed pineapple (drain the juice first) and the shredded cheese then chill for an hour to create creamy consistency - but you can already use it as spread after mixing.



If you wish to make a chunkier spread, just use pineapple chunks or slices then chop it into somewhat much bigger than the crushed pineapples.



Remember, its just cheese and pineapple that makes thius spread no need for mayo or others - but you can always experiment.
To make this pineapple-cheese filling "level", I add cream and condensed milk plus water, mix thoroughly and freeze overnight. Instant pineapple-cheese ice cream!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
